Please don't win this game. I wish you all the luck in the world, but please don't play like you did the last time you faced us.

Thank you, Your friend, Karen

PS Go Wings!

BTW- 9 PM Eastern, 8 PM Central time. Thanks for putting it in my time zone. I know it's because you were distracted by thoughts of me. Oops, gotta go. That's either the smoke detector of the bull s*** detector going off.

New e-book: The Spanish-American War: A Brief History. Relatively short, introductory read for casual history buffs and people who want to learn more about a forgotten war that changed America. Available at BN.com, Smashwords, Kobo, and Diesel E-Books right now. Same link as above.

Well the offense is obviously having some troubles, so I hope the defense will step it up again at least if we can't score. If they can't get shots off they can't score.

True, but you can't rely on defense completely. Look at Simth, Lashoff and to some extend Kindl and DeKeyser. Our D-Corps is excellent but also very young and they will make mistakes from time to time. Our Veterans have to step up at the offense and score the goals our D will give up.

Unfortunately I was unable to watch the game after the first period. But seeing Vancouver only register 20 shots and the ginger twins get shut down and split up seems like a good start to me

Yeah you could tell last game z and pavs main objective was to shut the sedins down. Which they did well. But both have been relatively stagnant offensively the last couple games so theyre certainly due for some goals tn. Should be a dandy. Only 11 hours to puckdrop

This is definitely another one of those if-we-lose-we-are-garbage games. Giordano's out. Stempniak is out. The only things they have going for them: they're great at home, Monohan's on fire (lol pun), they're young (which means fast, which means much faster than us), they're going to want to make a statement, and they swept last season's series. Oh, and Cammalleri has 22 points in 22 games against us. And Hudler knows us. And Hartley sort of knows us.

So, actually, they've got a few things going for them.

Stajan! He's another key player's who's out for them, right? Or has he returned?
